Or are you expected to run autoconfiguration > on transfer networks? Indeed, this is an interesting issue, and each ISP will find his own way to handle this. Currently, we tend to use the "<prefix>::1" on our side of all links, and the customer can use whatever he likes - which is usually ::2. Autoconfiguration for routers works, but is not overly helpful, as the other router on the network needs to know the router's IP to route packets in its direction... - unless you run OSPFv3 (or ISIS), in which case IPv6 autoconfig (or "just use link-locals") would actually work fine.
